Matinee

It's a perfect day for a matinee
 The rain falling
 It's a perfect day for a matinee
 And I'm calling in sick
 So I can lose myself in a dark room
 With two old ladies laughing when I do
 And the ushers are watching too
 It's a perfect day for a matinee
 And I think I love you
 It's a perfect day for a matinee
 And I'm hoping you love me too
 Hoping so hard that I need to escape
 And calm down my heart to a regular pace
 But I miss your hand on my knee
 What a wonderful way
 It's a perfect day for a matinee
 And I leave the theater, it's light out, it's light out
 It's a perfect day for a matinee
 And I'll call you later, tell you what the movie was about
 And you'll laugh and ask why I went alone
 And I'll lie and say I thought everybody'd already seen that one
 But you would have gone
 You would have gone
 Oh you would have, you would have gone
